Orban 30M
Eze 70M
Tosin 20M
120M, we got 100 for Kane… okay the eze money is steep but the boy has incredible talent.
Let’s also remember we should get
25-30 for PEH
5-10 for Dier
5-10 for Sanchez
5-10 for Ndombele
10-15 for Reguilon
0-5 for Lloris
5-10 for Tanganga
10-15 for Spence
Even being quite conservative that’s 70M plus 10 for Winks..
We’d break even! I get it, it’s not football manager we’d prob need to keep one of Dier/Sanchez and some will be hard to shift (Reg) but nothing there is hugely unreasonable.
We have to get a move on with these outs..

Lille sold Osimhen and won the league the next season with David.
He’s quick, extremely two footed, can play anywhere across the front 3, can drop in or run in behind, he creates and scores goals.
I don’t think he has elite potential (Osimhen, Haaland, Kane) but he will be a level behind.
My favourite things are:
- 2 footed
- great composure, time slows down for him in the box…I’ve seen him sit keepers down
- his attitude. He is hard on himself and works very hard and is humble and self-effacing. Maybe similar to son or Kane in that respect.
I honestly can’t think of someone better to bring in. He’s perfect for us. But again … no one we could get would ever be a « Kane replacement ».
If a recruitment operation is working properly in 2023, the question of who is the Ultimate Final Authority for a signing, assignable to their permanent record for all time, should be irrelevant.
If the process isn’t inherently collaborative, that’s problem #1 to fix.
GLC hasn't been "dropped". Since when was he 1st choice for anything?
Maddison injury confirmed?

Can you stop being so childish? Grown ups are having a conversation.
I read that villa were in for Nico Williams but he wasn’t keen on moving away from Spain at all.
Because he’s a bit crap? Hard to judge on the International scene but he looked no better than any of the other Canadian players at the World Cup. There was no spark at all and before you say but he plays for Canada… likewise Bale played for a woeful Welsh side yet he always stood out.
David doesn’t have any stand out qualities, he can hold the ball up and he’s good at penalties but he’s got average finishing, he’s not particularly quick and he lacks those moments of brilliance which in the EPL can be the difference between 1 and 3 points. At a reported €70m? no chance. Look at Openda, he would have been ideal yet he went to Leipzig for €38m… David isn’t worth nearly double what Openda went for.
70m is a lot, I agree.
How many times have you seen him play? Which games?
I don't know, because it sounds like a huge amount of money for anyone! But we paid more for Richarlison and much less for Sarr and Udogie. I just have such a hard time valuing players, that I couldn't really say.
Although, scoring is what the game is all about, and the hardest thing to do. To me (and I'm sure that bunch of posters will say "thank god you're not running the club!"), I'd pay for a guy who can put the ball in the net.
You're conservative on outgoings, but also on Eze imo. With the growing list of CMs going for 100m+ I struggle to see CP accepting anything near 70m for the heartbeat of their team.
Apparently they don't really rate Orban if they think a very modest fee in today's market of £26m is too much.
Rudy Galetti doesn't know shit.
Surely we want both?
Good scouting & analysis + manager final say?
